Abstract
An audio controller comprising a nonlinear loudspeaker system; an acoustic sensor; and an audio controller is disclosed. The audio controller performs acoustic echo cancellation with loudspeaker linearization. In particular, the audio controller is configured to: generate a pre-distorted signal from an input signal that keeps the nonlinear loudspeaker system in a linear regime, deliver, via the loudspeaker system, audio content in the linear regime using the pre-distorted signal, capture, via the acoustic sensor, an overall signal comprising an acoustic path response of the delivered audio content and a target signal, filter out the acoustic path response of the delivered audio content from the overall signal yielding isolated target signal, and perform an action with the isolated target signal.
